Missile Attack on Yemen's Mocha Port, Houthi Forces Claim Strike on Saudi Targets
On the 14th local time, the spokesperson for the Houthi armed forces, Yahya, stated that the Houthis launched multiple ballistic missiles in the Mocha region, targeting Saudi military assembly points, weaponry, and the warships they control. Yahya claimed that the attack hit its targets, destroying naval equipment and causing dozens of armed personnel casualties, and stated that they would continue to strike Saudi military assembly targets.
On the same day, the Yemeni government forces announced that the Houthis fired six ballistic missiles at the port of Mocha in southwestern Yemen, targeting local civilian and national facilities, attempting to impose a blockade on the population and exacerbate their plight.
The Yemeni Ministry of Health issued a statement strongly condemning this, warning that the Houthi attacks would lead to severe humanitarian consequences. The statement pointed out that there were already issues of malnutrition and displacement among the population along Yemen's western coast, and that the attack on the port would hinder the supply of food and medicine, amplifying the survival risks for vulnerable groups. The Ministry of Health called on the international community to condemn the related attacks, protect livelihood infrastructure, ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid, and increase support for local health and nutrition assistance.
